Message-ID: Date: 12 Apr 88 16:26:23 GMT Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 18 Keywords: %@^@$#^ I was looking through my MS-DOS 3.30 manual and found a nifty feature called "drivparm" that you can stick in your CONFIG.SYS file. Basically it is supposed to let you change the characteristics of a block device to another specification (e.g., make an 80 track drive act like a 40 track). However, try as I might (and try as another DOS wizard here might), all that I can get spit out at boot time is a complaint about "drivparm" being an unrecognized command. Anybody get this to work, or is this truly nifty feature a truly nifty vapor? dpz -- David P.
